I rate him - when it first came out a year ago that we were looking at BHU I said we should be going after Hazelton instead. He’s not elite tier but he’s a proper first grader.
It's not a bad proposition for a 26yo prop... Barney came here and lifted to a new level and is now an Origin player ; AFB was always good but lifted to a new level, scoring tries and getting 2 x prop of the year gongs 23-24. It's no longer a team where you go to see out the last years of your career with an 'overs' payday, there's real opportunity and upside. I think he'd be a much bigger deal here alongside JFH and Barney than he would be in the Cronulla pack,, purely because he'd be a great balance to the rest of our lads. Fingers crossedApparently where in the box seat to sign Hazleton. Sharks still keen to retain him though.

100%... and a different body type. Leo's good, but similar dimensions to JFH, Bunty, Ale etc. TH is 1.98cm and 10kg heavier. Always tickles us up when we play him, would be a great addition. Take him over NAS or Thomson TBH
Probably because Hazelton is just as good as Thompson and cheaper.
And he's driving through players too! Looking fitter than ever. Keep it up Bunty!bunnnttttiii da man, epitome of what it is to be a warrior, a man fighting against adversity, only talent he has is the ability to keep slogging away never giving up, persevering, dam anyone else would have given up ages ago, gotta love the dude, he is the toughest mentally at the warriors - no one tougher chiihoo!No mention of ‘Dancing’ Bunty Afoa and some of his footwork just before the line!
Re: Marcelo, I think it’s both cultural and part of the long term recruitment strategy from the Wahs. In that things like allowing Montoya to move cos it’s right for his fam situation show any Oz players that the club will do right by the them. Alternatively if they didn’t, and were a hardline ‘contracts a contract’ club, is a: mean snd not Wahs-like and b: very unappealing for future recruitment for any quality players that have options.
Agreed.
TMM lost his spot to Metcalf. He then got put at 6, where he never plays well, and was just outplayed by CHT. TMM did look good at fullback as you said. The person you should be mad at is TMM...
